- Abstract
A new collapse model of the trapdoors, threedimensional rectangular trapdoor (3DRT),is presented for ground surface collapse. Undrained stability of 3DRT is examined with the upper bound method of plasticity limit analysis theory. The soil where the trapdoors are located is assumed to be a perfectly plastic model with a Tresca yield criterion. Block analysis technique is employed to investigate the collapse of 3DRT. The model is divided into five different block types and added up to ten rigid blocks. According to the law of conservation of energy, the critical stability ratios of 3DRT are obtained through a search proceeding. The results of upper bound solution for 3DRT are given, and three trapdoor models with depth various are discussed during the application in the stability analysis of square trapdoors. The critical stability ratios can be used in the design of underground excavation and support force.
